License Management
The Cinegize installer contains the Cinegy License Manager application intended for managing serial numbers and the resultant software licenses used by Cinegy applications when no license dongles are used. If installed, the Cinegy License Service will be installed as a Windows service:
The software license is activated by the system automatically during Cinegize installation.
After installation, the license file is automatically placed by the installer to the following location on your computer:
C:\ProgramData\Cinegy\Software Licenses\
Cinegize searches for software licenses first, but when no local software license is found, it reverts to using the normal licensing mechanism used by other Cinegy applications through the Cinegy License Service.
The license is required when host is running – either in application mode or as a service.
If the host machine is running without a license, the client machine cannot connect to the host and the corresponding error is displayed:
